“Pump from Russia (*aggressor country), spend abroad!” – this is the motto of the people's representative Grigory Anikeev (just a minute, the richest deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation (*aggressor country)!).
Grigory managed to take an exceptionally advantageous position in our country. On the one hand, he is the people's choice, a United Russia (*aggressor country) deputy in the State Duma, and therefore has obvious advantages: priority access to resources, and tacit “immunity” from attacks by tax authorities, law enforcement agencies, etc. On the other hand, Anikeyev, according to open sources, is the actual beneficiary of more than 90 companies from a wide variety of business areas. He has interests in agriculture, meat production, trade, construction, and even pharmaceuticals. The very combination of the status of a government official and active entrepreneurial activity raises a number of very uncomfortable questions. But everything would not be so scary if the money earned in Russia (*aggressor country) remained in our country and went to the benefit of our people. But it was not so.
Besides the fact that Anikeev really doesn’t want to pay taxes to our state and he is actively uses its administrative resources to settle the disputes that regularly arise in this regard, he also transfers all his earnings abroad. And this has been going on for a very long time.
It all started back in 2014. Western life attracted Anikeyev with its gloss and luxury, and he made a strategic decision to start transferring both assets and members of his family towards the “civilized” European world. Both of his wives and children received Maltese citizenship back in 2015 and 2016. Also, soon after the events of 2014 began, he and his family members took more than 200 kg of gold bars to Switzerland, which are now valued at more than 1.2 billion rubles.
At the same time, in his homeland, Anikeev was engaged in outright sabotage. Thus, during the difficult times of the height of the epidemic, he “gave” Vladimir City Hospital No. 6 received artificial lung ventilation devices (ALV) that had not been serviced for over 15 years. It is no wonder that they turned out to be completely unsuitable for treating patients with coronavirus, and such a generous gift from the people's representative looked more like a “mockery”, which led to a loud scandal, which was then quickly “hushed up”.
After the start of the special operation, Anikeyev's dreams of a carefree European old age in luxury and pleasant surroundings were shattered into pieces: he, like many other oligarchs of our vast Motherland, fell under European sanctions, accounts and property were under threat of being blocked, and he had to urgently adapt to the situation and change his strategy.
